Nature has adapted certain trees to every 
section of the prairies of the West and 
Northwest. Annual prairie fires were un- 
doubtedly the main reason why the pioneer 
did not find these plains states covered with 
timber instead of grass. Spots in ravines or 
on hills protected by rocky grassless in- 
clines where prairie fires could not reach, 
have their native trees and shrubs with- 
standing the most severe conditions. 
Examples of this were the native Hack- 
berry, Ash, American Elm, Cottonwood, 
Burr Oak, and numerous other species found 
growing in fire protected spots throughout 
the plains states to the Rocky Mountains. 
More recently, species from regions in Si- 
beria, Manchuria, and other sections of Asia 
having similar rigorous climatic conditions, 
have been found well-adapted to this section 
of the country. 
For many years Marshalls have been se- 

lecting the best types from these hardy na-— 
tives and from the exotic species and have a 
line of trees to offer which give very satis- 
factory results in any of the plains states. 
Shade and shelter can be had if ordinary 
care is given these hardy sorts, anywhere 
that plains crops succeed.

Trees planted about the house should ac- 
complish the two-fold purpose of framing 
the view of the house, and providing shade 
at the right place at the right time. Trees 
planted off the corners, rather than direct- 
ly in front of the house, will greatly en- 
hance the appearance and provide the prop- 
er shade, when needed. Even on the shady 
side trees are needed to provide a leafy frame 
about the house. Small, ornamental trees 
can display their flower or fruit to ad- 
vantage either on the lawn or in the border.
